Ah, the end of the week! Believe it or not, today is the last Friday of August. With September right around the corner, our Sonia Isabelle is breaking down what's happening in Hollywood with today's Dish.
It's been over 17 months since a Broadway show has taken the stage, but that is about to change very soon! Despite the shut down, musicals and plays are ready to return this September in New York. With many of the name-brand shows set to return in the middle of the month, one musical will return in the first week of September. The Tony-winning musical Hadestown returns September 2nd at the Walter Kerr Theater.
